A real rarity is about to take place. We can see the fourth blood moon that will fall on a Jewish holiday. On April 15, 2014 there was a blood moon or a lunar eclipse. This occurred on Passover. Another blood moon appeared on October 8, 2014 on Feast of the Tabernacles. Then again a blood moon happened on April 4, 2015 on Passover and one will occur again on September 28, 2015, again on Feast of the Tabernacles, for the fourth consecutive time. Anytime there have been four lunar eclipses in a row, where the moon turns blood red, each appearing on a Jewish holiday, a major event has occurred. In the past 500 plus years, it has occurred three times and now will be the fourth.

Genesis 1:14 – “And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years.”

Joel 2:30 – 31 – “I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”

Acts 2:20 – “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.”

For those who are unaware, in 1492 during four blood moons the Spanish inquisition of Jews occurred. All Jews were told to convert to Catholicism or leave the country. Many of those who stayed were killed. That same year an Italian Jew, Columbus, who was mostly financially supported by Jewish investors set sailed and discovered the American continent at San Salvador. Some believe many Jews from the lost tribes of Israel migrated to England. From England, some were believed to have converted to Christianity and they came to help settle America. America may have been created partly to protect Jewish citizens from those lost tribes, as well as militarily protection for Israel.

In 1948, the next time that there were four blood red moons falling on Jewish religious holidays, Israel on May 14, 1948 became a homeland to the Israelites and an official country. God began calling Jews from all over the world to return to their God-given covenant land as previously prophesized.

The next time this lunar eclipse phenomenon occurred was in 1967. Israel was attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon and they repelled their enemies. The war lasted six days and Israel captured Sinai, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and the West Bank. They were able to unify control over Jerusalem their covenant land. The Soviet Union supplied most of their enemies’ military equipment and economic assistance. President Lyndon Johnson rallied to assist Israel. During this war there were a number of supernatural events that happened and the Jews believed it was because God was on their side.

Since the U. S. has withdrawn from its power to keep peace, we have seen wars in Iraq and in Syria. We are seeing Russian personnel seemingly, to partially take over Syria. Syria is one of the nations with Russia, Iran and other nations that seem to be getting ready for war against Israel as described in Ezekiel, chapters 38 & 39.

It has been announced that the UN has authorized a Palestine flag be flown outside the UN building in NYC. It is also rumored that the UN will pronounce that Palestine can become a state. It is thought that the UN will require Israel to give up the West Bank and part of Jerusalem. It is also believed that while Pope Francis is here, he and President Obama will agree with that recommendation. The Vatican announced that it had already made a treaty with the “state of Palestine.” As many as 135 countries recognized Palestine as a state. The Pope has angered a number of Jewish people. The Pope is also said to have brokered the agreement between the U.S. and Cuba.

The Bible tells us that the land Israel is occupying belongs to God. He has only given Israel permission to use it. If Israel’s land is divided as the UN supposedly will recommend, it is very possible that God could become angry!!! The Prophet Joel indicates 2:18 – “Then the LORD was jealous for his land and took pity on his people.”

As you read this, keep in mind the following Scripture: Genesis 12:3 – “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

God must keep His promise. If He says He will curse a nation that curses Israel, it will be done. Up until recently, God has been blessing America to be the most prosperous nation ever. If God has cause to curse America, what could actually happen?

My belief is that what happens after September 28 is prophesized in the Bible. However, we will not know what that will be until after it happens. Throughout the years God has made Himself known to the Israelites. They continued to deny His existence and worshipped hand-made idols. Their continual disobedience to His will and His Commandments made God angry and He often punished them. From AD 70 to 1948 they were spread throughout the world with no homeland available. For those who knew the Old Testament realized that there would be a day when God would bring them back to the land He promised as their inheritance. So we wait with anticipation hoping that the coming event will be a positive and not a negative.

We as American Christians must realize that God has not always been a protective God. When we read of past Jewish history, we understand that God only accepts so much sin and then He disciplines: Twice Israel was destroyed as a nation. In 586 the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar totally destroyed the nation, Jerusalem and the temple. After 70 years they returned to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. Some 650 years later in 70 AD the Romans totally destroyed Israel, Jerusalem and the temple. They were no longer a nation for 1,878 years. The Old Testament prophets predicted that the nation would again take place in the future, thus proving that God kept His word. Another four blood moons occurred and on June 1967, through another war, Jerusalem became the unified capital of Israel. There is no other nation that was once totally destroyed and its people dispersed throughout the world and survived. Israel was driven out and twice destroyed. The Hebrew language was almost extinct. Today, the Israelis speak Hebrew, their original language. One promise of many promises that is still to be fulfilled is the rebuilding of the Temple on the Temple Mount.

So what may we expect on September 28? My recommendation is to be spiritually prepared for whatever happens. The Bible emphasizes that no one knows when Christ returns but are expected to be ready to meet Him.
